This year, the military parade on March 25, dedicated to the 201st anniversary of the national holiday of Independence Day and the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, was held with brilliance.
For the first time, Rafale fighters, which have recently entered the Air Force balance and were acquired in France, took part in the air force parade for the first time. Recall that the first six military aircraft arrived at the Tanagra air base in January last year and were presented in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Rebalancing the Aegean, the Rafale are twin-engine multirole fighters. This means that they can simultaneously perform different types of missions, such as air superiority, strike, reconnaissance, etc. They have a combination of delta wing and maneuverable wings (canards), which gives them exceptional maneuverability, and at the same time the aircraft remains stable during flight.
Rafale has the ability to track a target and launch an air-to-air missile without disclosing its location thanks to Thales OSF. iefimerida.gr.
